i have been trying to think of a way to write this for some time now.

sometimes i wake up and in the morning i feel so down and just not like i should be away today..... so when i post on status about being depressed and people say stuff like toughen up and shit like that it bothers me.

would you say that to your family if they claimed to be depressed? would you like it if someone said that to you? so to those who think its easy to just ''toughen up'' understand sometimes being depressed and getting out of bed everyday is hard enough.

Hey there. More people than you think have probably felt this way too Kid and although it is hard, sometimes you have to try really hard to turn a negative into a positive. Just one positive thought a day...then two a day... Easy to say but much harder to do I know, but one step at a time, one day at a time..all you can do. x

Yes I would say it to my family, I've had it said to me by mine enough times

Oh I should also add that I don't have a problem with them because of it, I actually thank them for it because it made me just get on with it in those days that you mentioned (yes I have them sometimes) and once you do that you feel a lot better

Depression can be bad,sometimes a person can be just slightly in a rut but sometimes it's more than that. I know that being single most likely makes it feel worse,if you ever feel like talking I have a great ear,you can PM me anytime. Take care of yourself kid. I did offer my email once if you want it just let me know,I care{hugs}

Depression isn't a weakness Kid. I have had for a long time now and am going through a pretty chronic path. I best tool/weapon I have found that keeps me alive is a sense of humour.

Depression can't beat you if you are laughing at it. All the best mate.
